Chapter 81: Being missed by the thief!

Simon Grayson didn't know how effective the mobilization meeting he held for the players, but he really did his best. He told his players in detail all his interests, but the hearts were just apart. He was not a worm in the players' stomach, so he naturally didn't know what the players were thinking.

Leeds United's training results in the next three days were pretty good, and finally reassuring Simon Grayson. The third round of the UEFA Cup group stage was about to start. Leeds United welcomed Fenerbahce at home this time. Simon Grayson didn't care much about the outcome of this game. He just hopes that his team can rekindle morale and make more points in the next English Premier League.

In the past three days, by staying on the training ground at all times to observe the players' training, Simon Grayson has also figured out the status of his players.

In general, these players are divided into three categories, the most common ones are a group of players represented by Jonny Hausen, Zach Thompson, and Ben Parker. They were determined not to leave for various reasons and were still conscientious in training.

The second category is the players who have just played well, such as Ameobi, Snoldgras, and Becchio, who have attracted the attention of other teams. Their performance was not very good and there was no team attention. Now they have played in Leeds United, and some teams are interested in them, but they themselves are hesitating whether to leave.

The third category is only one "beast" Tevez. Although the Argentine striker stayed happily at Leeds United and his condition reached the peak of his career, it is because of this that Tevez has decided to continue to perform his good form this season and then re-eat to other giant teams with a higher value.

Whether it is the first or third category, the players are in very good condition. Only the second category are hesitant, which is the problem that Simon Grayson has a headache. These players are all strong in the team and can basically play as the main players. They are hesitating between going and staying, which will lead to a decline in the overall condition of the team.

Although Simon Grayson had endless worries in his heart, the UEFA Cup still came as scheduled. It was not until this time that he realized that he had truly underestimated the strength of his team. Today's "Young Guards" are really a strong team. Even though their current state is not in the best period, their combat effectiveness is still strong.

Of course, Simon Grayson also didn't know that there was a powerful hand behind the way Leeds United was pushing forward. "Shaq" is not just a player. The "Black Feet" system owned by Zach Thompson now has a 29-point teammate bonus skill point, and he really has some ability to control the game. Maybe when Leeds United played against the giants, he still couldn't control the game, but it was still enough to play against Turkey's Fenerbahce, a team that had already fallen.

On October 25, Leeds United beat visiting Fenerbahce 4:0 at Elland Road Stadium. Leeds United's overall performance in this game was not very good, but with Tevez and Zach Thompson scoring twice, they still won the victory with a score of 4:0.

The game was played in the rain. Just 5 minutes into the game, "Beast" Tevez received a precise pass from Zach Thompson. He used his speed to counterattack and then scored a goal in the meeting.

In 10 minutes, Ameobi headed the ball to Tevez. The Argentine striker scored again in front of the small penalty area, and the score also became 2:0!

After these two goals were scored, the tone of the game was completely set, and Fenerbahce, who played away, had no chance to turn the tables.

At 44 minutes into the game, Zach Thompson received a ball picked up by Tevez from the baseline and volleyed into the ball.

Leeds United, which led three goals, was getting more and more relaxed. In the 54th minute of the second half, Zach Thompson scored a shocking long shot from 35 meters away from the goal. After seeing the opponent's goalkeeper's position, he used his left foot to make a curve ball. The ball bypassed the goalkeeper and hung it into the dead corner of the upper left corner of Fenerbahce's goal!

After scoring the goal, Zach Thompson raised his arms high. In the Elland Road Stadium, the Leeds United irons who watched the game in the rain began to worship him frantically. In the hearts of these Leeds United's most loyal fans, "Shack" is now a more important player than captain Jonny Hausen, because "Shack"'s football talent can only be described as "genius", and because Zach Thompson's excellent performance in the "Three Lions" made him the pride of Leeds fans.

After winning all three Europa League group stages, Leeds United's qualifying situation was very good, and Simon Grayson began to make every effort to prepare for the eighth round of the Premier League with Sunderland three days later. Leeds United's schedule is very close. Fortunately, they played home games in two consecutive games, otherwise Simon Grayson would not know if he still had confidence.

Although Tottenham Hotspur has won the make-up match with Stoke City 3-0, this has also caused Tottenham Hotspur led by Portugal's "little madman" Boas to squeeze Leeds United into the second place in the standings with one point advantage.

However, Simon Grayson is still determined to win this game with Sunderland, because this is the last game before Leeds United enters the Devil's schedule to make points safely. Simon Grayson dares not expect his team to continue to make points away from home with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea away from home.

At the pre-match press conference on the 27th, Simon Grayson announced his team's starting lineup, and under interviews with many reporters from Sky Sports, Mirror, Guardian, GOAL and TEAMTALK, he claimed in a high-profile manner: "The frequent schedule makes this game very difficult for us, but as long as we perform well enough, we can win this game!"

Simon Grayson not only showed his determination to win, but also issued a kill order when the team held a pre-war meeting the next morning: "Young guys, you already know the team's schedule. I'm very happy to see that the team has won a lot of points in recent times, and we have also occupied a high position in the standings! However, against Sunderland, this will be the last league that we can easily get points. Next, we will face Arsenal, Chelsea, and Leigh.

A giant team like Verpool is a devilish schedule for the team, but for each of you, it will be an opportunity for you to completely prove yourself! Sunderland is now ranked 11th, and we are ranked second, so... I can't think of any reason we don't win this game! Win Sunderland, and then let us talk to those giants in the best state, show your courage and confidence, and let us fight to the death with these giants! How about it? Do you... dare?"

"dare!"

Simon Grayson still has control over this team he built. Many players responded to him, but he raised his hand to his ear and made a gesture of closing the sound: "I didn't hear it! Breaking louder!"

"dare!"

This time, even Tevez gave face and shouted. The "Beast" was still grateful to Simon Grayson and Leeds United. If his agent hadn't been tweeting him to leave, Tevez wanted to continue to stay at Leeds United. After all, not every team would give him privileges. Now Tevez's core offensive position in Leeds United, and he could choose to shoot or pass the ball after getting the ball on the court. Even Simon Grayson would not make tough demands on Tevez at all. He would not be criticized if he was late for ten or twenty minutes during training. As long as he gave a reason, he would be finished.

This feeling of freedom is something that other teams cannot give to "beasts". Even Tevez himself feels that it is because of the head coach's indulgence and trust in him that he has regained his best self. He really cannot stand the strict constraints. Argentina's talented players need to exude the wild factors in their bodies to truly show their football talent.

After coming to Leeds United this season, Tevez was completely invincible with the help of Zach Thompson's teammate's bonus skill points. He scored 20 goals in 7 league games. In his three years at Manchester City, his best form only scored 23 and 21 goals respectively, but that was the number of goals in the whole year. Apart from these two seasons, whether in Manchester United, West Ham United, Boca, and Clinxien, he has never scored more than 20 goals in the league in any season!

In addition to 20 league goals, Tevez has also scored 3 Europa League goals for Leeds United this season, 1 League Cup goal and 1 Community Shield Cup goal.

Because no one knows Zach Thompson, the hero behind the scenes, the outside world unanimously believes that the "Beast" Tevez has such a crazy goal frenzy. This is definitely the head coach Simon Grayson is well-trained, and this head coach is definitely qualified to become the helm of the giant team in the future.

The Leeds coach's performance in leading the team is already amazing. He has trained young talents like "Shake", Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker, which can help Tevez return to the top and make Ameoy regain his youth again with a thirty-one-year-old veteran like this. This coaching ability is really world-class.

After "Black Big" Ameobi transferred to Leeds United in winter last season, he scored 15 goals in 21 games. He played in the Premier League for the "Youth Guards" this season and scored 7 goals in 8 games. This really shows Simon Grayson's coaching ability.

Therefore, Simon Grayson's coaching performance is actually seen by many giant teams. They are also considering whether this head coach, who was not well-known before, is suitable for his team, but it has not made any statement.

The current Leeds United team, from players to head coaches, and even this football club, has been acquired, and they are really coveted from top to bottom.
